Great Day for Lewiston Catholics.

Especial to the PREss.1
LEWISTON, May 2.-This was great day
for our Lewiston Catholic citizens, who
were present in large numbers to witness the
conservation exercises ON the site of the pro-
posed new cathedral, st. Patrick's. The
weather was perfect. Crowds of Protestants
were among the assemblage, many of whom
by invitation of Father Wallace, took their
turn at the shovel and overturned the conse-
Grated sod. The exercises, which were pro-
foundly interesting, lasted about an hour,
and were conducted by Rev. t. II. Wallace
and his assistant, Rev. Peter Bradley. The
erection of this second Catholic church in
Lewiston has become necessary because of
the rapid increase Of the Catholic population
here. The edifce when completed will cost,
1t is estimated, over 100000.
The Rev. T. III. Wallace, to whom the
prosperous condition of the affairs of the
diocese is due. was formerly stationed in
Portland. He is an exemplary clergyman of
the religion he represents, and irrespective
of denomination, is highly esteemed by all
our citizens. He has been member of the
school board of Lewiston for a number of
years and has held the position of chairman
of this board for the past two years. He
has always been an indefatigable worker in
the cause of education and his services in
this direction have been highly appreciated
When assigned to this city 10 years ago, he
found that he would be obliged to shoulder
a terrible load in the shape of a burdensome
church debt. AT the end of seven years, af-
ter laboring untiringly Indeed shattering
his health among poor people, he succeed
ed in clearing debt of about $4,000 and
building parochial school at cost of $4O,-
600. At the end of that time the parish
stood with a property of $4,000 more than it
had when he took charge This fact speaks
louder than words and creditablY reflects
on the pastors financial ability. He has the

The reports showed that the log cut of
the past winter was not materially larger
on the Mississippi, St Croix and iD the
Duluth district than it was year ago,
although the preparations for the win

anticipation WAS general that there would
be large cut of logs. On the Chippewa
and the Black rivers net reduction is
shown, though the cut of new logs on the
Chippewa was larger than it was
year ago. The stock of logs
carried over was So much re-
duced last season as to make the net
reduction a marked one. The Chippewa
lumbermen for the past three years have
succeeded in gradually reducing the
large stock of logs they were carving
over from year TO year without finding

ducilen in the supply of both old aud
new logs on the Black river more than
